Hey hey, just read the pairings process at this tourny and had just a few comments.

With other 4 man ETC style events I've attended, the pairings process mimicked the final 4 teams' pairings (out of 8 man ETC teams, 4 men have already been chosen by a slightly different method than below) which is the same as having 4 man teams, like so:

• Both Teams simultaneously place 1 army on the table
• Both Teams simultaneously offer 2 armies for the opponent’s placed army to choose from.
• At this point each Team has only 1 card in his hand (Started with 4, placed 1, and offered 2)
• Each team simultaneously chooses which one of the opponent’s 2 offered armies they want to face their initially placed army (Match-ups 5th and 6th). The other army offered by the opponent and not chosen will face the one card left on the Team’s hand. (Last On-Hand vs Last Unchosen, last match-ups).

The above is taken directly from ETC pairings process, and this is how most other ETC-style tournaments do pairings.

With no initial simultaneous pairings (the coin flip places the winner at a disadvantage as the army being thrown down gets thrown to the wolves vs all 4 armies on the opposing team) and the end armies being placed down and chosen is akin to the final parings being chosen at random.

If the current method was intentional, that's fine & we're looking to rolling dice regardless. But for those not familiar to ETC, the current pairing method is not exactly what is conducted at ETC.

If anybody wants more info or have questions about ETC, I'd be happy to engage - just shoot me a PM.
